Yurt, hut and tent camping is available just yards from the start line at the Arizona Nordic Village. Please note that there are a limited number of yurt, hut, and tent sites available. Tent camping is available at special events only. All camping at the Nordic Village is available on a first come, first serve basis. There are other camping opportunities nearby in the Coconino National Forest.

The 6 hour, 30 minute time limit means race officials will stop the race at a 15:00 per mile pace. Participants still on the course at this time will be required to get back to the finish line. Participants who cross the finish line after 6:30:00 are not guaranteed to be recognized as Official Finishers and are not guaranteed a medal or finishing time.

RESUMEN

No part of the course is run on paved surfaces — it’s a 100-percent off-road race. From the starting line at the Flagstaff Nordic Center on Highway 180 in the Coconino National Forest (15 miles northwest of the city), the race takes runners into the mountainous areas to the east, rising a total of 1,100 feet in elevation over the course of the half marathon.

The terrain is a mixture of single-track mountain trails, dirt roads and cross-country trails, and the course never drops below 8,000 feet above sea level.

For the half marathon race, the runner will complete each red and black loop shown below once. For thefull marathon, each loop will be run twice.
